True, but our defensive lines were poorer in my opinion. 13.11 should be a winning score.  We average 60 points against when Lever, May and Petty are all in the same side.  Not tonight though.  The defenders lost far too many one on ones.

 

Count the missed sitter goals by us, that then just rebounded for goals by them.

If we kicked a few of the gimmes we win. Should have been up by about 6-7 goals at half time. Our poor kicking for goal kept them within distance.

Howe said after the game it was on the whiteboard & McCrae even got in on it & said he had duck for dinner.

Goody said in the presser Ed got his words wrong

When you keep opening your mouth and making stupid comments, you'd better be able to perform. Ed was terrible from midway through the 2nd quarter. Very disappointing.

I reckon we're the one trick pony. Our plan A has been worked out

And this is why you keep your mouth shut

Yep. I know exactly what our players will do , every time we have possession from a mark, free kick, or kick in. It's all % based and works mostly. But being so predictable is starting to be found out by sides who adapt and take some risks

I'm a massive fan of Ed - clearly an intelligent and articulate guy - I guess that's why he gets put up for media ops. However this isn't the first instance - reference comments re Ross Lyon. Sadly we probably won't hear much from him for the rest of the year.
